Te Hoiere Project

Te Whāinga | Vision Ko te whāinga matua ko te whakarauoratanga o te whenua, o ngā wai, o ngā tai moana e matomato ai te tipu, e mauri ora ai te tangata. We work together to restore the mauri of Te Hoiere land, waters, and coast which flourish, along with peoples’ wellbeing and livelihoods. Initiated in 2019, this project seeks to revitalise Te Hoiere/Pelorus catchments from the mountains into the sea (ki uta ki tai) and to be a leading example of community-driven environmental restoration. The catchment is one of 14 priority catchments in DOC's Ngā Awa River Restoration Programme and an exemplar catchment as part of Ministry for the Environment's At Risk Catchments Programme. Te Hoiere Kaitiaki Charitable Trust was set up in 2023 with five board members. We couldn’t achieve what we do without the combined effort, help and support of Te Hoiere/Pelorus community, iwi, funders, and stakeholders. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. More about our partnerships will be available on our website launching later in 2023.
